‘Miss Witherspoon’
New City Stages Company presents:
Written by Christopher Durang
Directed by Ryder Thornton
December 9, 2010 — January 9, 2011
Adrienne Theatre Main Stage
The sky is falling! Unable to cope with the horrors of modern civilization and inexplicably pushed over the edge by a delayed reaction to the demise of Skylab, middle-aged Veronica commits suicide. Instead of arriving in heaven, she finds herself in the bardo, a kind of waiting room for the afterlife. Suddenly a woman in a sari tells her she must return to earth because there are still lessons to learn. She’s determined to stay put. Nicknamed Miss Witherspoon by her spiritual guide because of her “brown tweed aura”, she finds herself stuck in a cycle of reincarnation. A Philadelphia premiere by New Jersey native Christopher Durang, this dark farce takes us on a journey that suggests for sensitive souls in a world gone mad death is easy, the after-life is hard.

studium-praxis is delighted to announce that its founding creative director has will be working as a guest artist with People’s Light & Theater Company to develop, design and build the puppets for it’s production of “The Emperor’s New Clothes”: A slapstick, mad cap, crackpot version of the still stylish tale of an Emperor with a passion for fashion. In the Empire of Abalonia, the bratty new Royal demands a trendy new wardrobe. Enter two stealing, scamming, flimming and flamming, roguish rogues who are only too happy to fulfill the Emperor’s wishes while looting the royal treasury. Best appreciated by ages 5 and up.
